[Assigned] String translations

Hi there.

Before this ticket gets assigned to one of my colleagues, I will try to help.

Please let us know what steps you followed to translate the strings.

Were you trying to translate them automatically, or were you manually translating them?

Please note that certain strings may require a specific procedure to be located and translated.

Moreover, the proper method for translating strings greatly depends on how they have been incorporated into the theme/plugin. Some plugins might not even be written in a way where the coded strings are implemented in an "internationalized" way so that is why no multilingual plugin might be able to see the strings out of the box without some extra work upfront.

IMPORTANT: Sometimes, there are even duplicates of the same string and only one of them is the correct one that needs to be translated.

Also, sometimes, simply removing the string (checking the box and removing it) and then re-registering it again by scanning for it (one of the methods below) and re-translating it resolves the issue.

Please attempt both methods and check if either of them resolves the issue.

Method 1:

Navigate to WPML > String Translation, and at the bottom of the page, you will find a checkbox labeled "Look for strings while pages are rendered." You can enable (check) that option, then go to the front end to a page where the string is displayed, and afterward return to WPML > String Translation to search for that string and see if it now appears.

Method 2:

If you can't locate them within WPML > String Translation, they might be included as admin text strings.

This is the typical process for finding and translating admin text strings:

Please keep us informed about your progress.

Hi there, and thank you for the update.

Can you please move the site to a staging site so that I can access it? For the moment, I think it exists only on your local server.

Thank you.

Hi, and thank you for the credentials.

I was already able to log into the site successfully.

I am still investigating this matter. As soon as I will have news, I will get back to you.

For the moment, I still don't know why the translated strings don't show on the front-end.
